numerous offers to act in other films, she declined, stating that she
wanted to concentrate on finishing school.
When once asked when she was younger what she wanted to be when she
grew up, Dahlström stated: "Serial killer, or rockstar".[1]
In 2002, Dahlström acted as assistant director and Russian

film Lilya 4-ever.
In 2007 Dahlström had a small role in the Dutch soap opera Goede
